Remakes are a disgrace
Rob Zombie should be ashamed of himself. Of course he wouldn't know what shame meant. Part of the lure of Halloween was not knowing what made Michael Myers so evil. Zombie blew it by chalking it up to growing up in a dysfunctional family and having an abusive childhood. We can get that crap on Court TV every nite. He also took the character of Dr. Loomis and relegated him to a creep who would sell his mother for a book deal. I can only imagine the damage Zombie will do to his remake of the Blob.
Zombie also made a mess of Friday the 13th which would almost seem impossible. He made nearly every character so despicable the audience was literally cheering as Jason took them out. We've also seen this in the remake of the Fog. Old Mr. Machem went from being a crusty old fisherman telling spooky campfire stories to being an alcoholic bum. There should be laws for misfits like Zombie to be sued for tampering with classic horror movies.

I don't really have a problem with remakes. There isn't a long list of remakes I really like but they don't harm the original, regardless of how bad they are. Didn't enjoy Zombie's Halloween, but then again I haven't enjoyed any of his work, so no big surprise there. The Thing, The Fly, The Blob are all quality remakes so I'm prepared to put up with all the rubbish ones as long as gems like those pop up every now and again.

To me, remake hatred is like...carried on about like those that try to see their religion/faith.
If you don't like 'em, don't watch 'em - trying to convince a wider audience is a little annoying, especially on a topic we see visited here at least monthly.

I for one think that the of Maltese Falcon is one of the best films ever made (not by Rob Zombie)...
I also thought Rob Zombie's remake of Dawn of the Dead was pretty good. Rumour has it he has a remake of the Devil's Rejects in the works too - that should be good. Last edited by Ferox13; 10-31-2009 at 12:56 AM.

Why remake Devil's Rejects? It was done effectively the first time around...
